Company mission
To give creators on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other social media platforms new ways to engage audiences, connect with supporters, and monetize their presence.
Our take
Koji is a leading app store for the creator economy and the most powerful Link in Bio platform. The company is restructuring the creator economy ensuring that incentives between creators, consumers and developers are all aligned.
Koji taps into a thriving market, with the creator economy said to be the predicted way artists and entrepreneurs will make their livings, and the company’s Link in Bio platform offers users new ways to monetize. Koji's apps are simple to use, opening inside every social media platform without requiring downloads or installs, hence, in its first year, more than 150,000 creators used Koji’s Link in Bio platform and over 200 apps to engage with audiences
Koji will use new funding, led by Jump Capital, to grow its engineering and creator teams, accelerate development of the platform and further develop its Web3 and crypto offerings
